Violence
0R320,00This collective volume takes a social scientific approach to the subject of violence. Violence manifests itself on different levels, often beyond our comprehension. The book comprises 15 chapters in which experts from different academic disciplines and backgrounds examine violence carefully, logically, and in a challenging way. Although it is written from South African perspectives, it is relatable to other countries.

The arguments are presented systematically, intersectionally and constructivistically. It focuses on violence as an evolutionary phenomenon; on how it effects children; on interpersonal, collective, and structural violence; on ecological violence, and on violence as metaphor, amongst others.

Vreesloos Gehoorsaam
0R0,00Vreesloos gehoorsaam verwoord ‘n goue draad wat deur Nauda se hele loopbaan vleg en ook neerslag vind in sy preke, waarin hy dikwels sy gehoor oproep om ‘nie te vrees nie?. Reeds in sy eerste preek (‘n Adventspreek in Desember 1939) neem hy as teksvers Lukas 2:10, waar ons die woorde van die engel lees: ?Moenie vrees nie, want kyk, ek bring julle ‘n goeie tyding van groot blydskap wat vir die hele volk sal wees.? En in 1960, ‘n
waterskeidingsjaar in Nauda se lewe, die jaar van die sluipmoordaanslag op doktor Verwoerd, die Cottesloe-beraad en die gewelddadige en noodlottige Sharpevilleopstand teen die gehate paswette, sluit hy ‘n preek oor die tema ‘Gehoorsaam aan wie?’ met die volgende persoonlike getuienis af: ?[E]k het ‘n vader gehad wat ons as sy kinders geleer het dat die mens sy grootste gehoorsaamheid altyd aan God verskuldig is: ‘n gehoorsaamheid wat getuig moet word aan Sy Woord. ?Wie Gods Woord gehoorsaam, hoef niks te vrees nie? ?.

War and Society: Participation and Remembrance
0R310,00The centenary of the First World War presents historians with an opportunity to reflect anew upon South African participation in that war and particularly the role played by South African black and coloured participants in the conflict.
Drawing upon a wide range of sources, the author analyses the interplay between war and society: the expectations of different groupings at the outbreak of war; the concerns and constraints which circumscribed the role of black and coloured troops; the nature of the recruiting process and the reasons why men enlisted; the realities of service in what was South-West Africa and East Africa, as well as in France and Palestine; and the socio-political ramifications of war service. -

Whose History Counts
0R295,00Originally planned as a fact-based book on the pre-colonial history of the Eastern Cape in the true tradition of history, this ground-breaking book focuses on epistemological and foundational questions about the writing of history and whose history counts. Whose History Counts challenges the very concept of pre-colonial and explores methodologies on researching and writing history.
The reason for this dramatic change of focus is attributed in the introduction of the book to the student-led rebellion that erupted following the #RhodesMustFall campaign which started at the University of Cape Town on 9 March 2015. Key to the rebellion was the students? opposition to what they dubbed colonial education and a clamour for, among others, a ?decolonised curriculum?. This book is a direct response to this clarion call.eBook: View eBook Version
